Kilimanjaro Itinerary
Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). We will arrange a private transfer from (JRO) to Moshi at your hotel, Kilimanjaro wonders hotel, panama hotel, kindoroko hotel, where you will meet your guide for pre-climb briefing and check your equipment. We can provide a short walk in moshi town depending on your arriving time.
Let's Plan Mount Meru
We drive from Moshi to Momela Gate. After a short registration at the Gate our walk will begin with full armed ranger escorting us, simply we can see along the way the wild animals including elephants, zebras, and giraffe , monkeys, antelope, and often elephants along the route. Dinner and overnight night at Miriakamba Hut.
The walk from Miriakamba Hut to the saddle below Little Meru is a short day but a steep climb. The walk will take us slowly along the ridge for a spectacular view of the Meru Crater and the impressive Ash Cone. After hot lunch at Saddle Hut we can make a short climb to the summit of Little Meru (3,820m) for superb views just before sunset.
We start early at around 1:30 a.m. to climb steeply to Rhino Point (3,800 m.) and on to Cobra Point (4350m). We reach the summit (4,566 m) on time for sunrise there is a possibility to see Kilimanjaro Peak above the clouds. The final part of the climb is along a spectacular narrow ridge line between the sheer inner cliffs and the sloping outer wall of the crater. We take a short rest and brunch at Saddle Hut before continuing the descent to the Momella gate. The returning transfer will be waiting at Momella Gate to pick you to Moshi at your hotel.
End of the safari the African traces driver will take you to the airport for your flight back home / or option for climbing mountain Kilimanjaro.

Owned by a guiding family for 8 years.
Went for 5 days climb to Kili from Marangu Gate. Good preparation (all missing equipment provided for free), great organisation and splendide execution..All of it for a fare price. Thank you Marko, Kenny, Rama and the rest of the team!
I’m glad I chose African traces for my Kilimanjaro climb via the 6-day Machame route. Marko, the owner, was very responsive throughout the planning phase and made modifications up until the last moments
Our safari was a 5-day trip. Marko helped us arranged it. Marko is really responsible and every time reply to me with a fast speed. Even helped us to get the SIM card. William was our guide, he is really gentle, friendly, and kind.
The trip was amazing. William was our guide. We are sure the safari experience wouldnt be the same without him. He made sure we are ok every second, that we saw the animals we wanted and as close as possible.
My wife and I booked trough African traces both the kilimanjaro treck and safari and are extremely happy we did. After 12 years of being a porter to cook to assistant guide to chief guide and finally safari guide
